It’s around this range that you can pick someone who can contribute immediately and no longer in their teens cause those with supposedly higher upside has all been picked .

late lotto is definitely an underrated spot to draft and we see very good players drafted in that range every year...not that likely to draft a guy as good as JDub though

With how mocks are shaping up and both Wallace/Hendricks definitely taken before 12, we are probably drafting rayan rupert.

Sga drafted at 11th jdub at 12th for sure some value late in the lottery.

Val is torching Jaylin. Either give saric a shot or go small.

pretty much. Wish Sarr was available, that's how bad we are at that position.

I know we need shooting but playing Waters over Wiggins is a joke

Way too much Dort for my taste in Q1. He’s hitting them tonight though. Good sign but feels like the HOU game all over again.

SGA letting the game come to him, I like it.

I love JDub but he looks terrible tonight

He's playing well but that shot from Dort was so stupid

Does Ingram always look stoned or is tonight a special occasion?

I’m honestly impressed .

They’re growin. If Chet’s what we think he is, they are going to cause some trouble.

And this is with an easily identified weakness amongst our big.

Giddey had an incredible game (not that good to end the game though).

Shai was better than most of the game showed...very good defense and some nice passes.

JDub almost cost us the game. His decision making was great but couldn't make a shot

I'm impressed...didn't think we could win this.

Yup, Jaylin got worked all night long. He’s going to be a great 3rd string center. Love him to death. But he’s not a starter in this league. Mark stuck with him way too long.

Dort shooting win us the game I believe .

If he’s hot we have a chance .
